This blog is dedicated to those who are committed to achieve a higher level of leadership success, whose burning passion is to be and to do something more than the average leader; to those who believe that every person is responsible for their own leadership success; to those who believe in the evaluation and development of self; to those that hunger for wisdom; to those that believe knowledge is the key to the door of opportunity; those that believe leadership success is not just a perfunctory following of policies and believes.
As the leader is, so is the team. The greatest work that can engage thought and invite activity is leadership. Upon the shoulders of leadership, in its broadest sense, depends on the future welfare of the employee, the company, the nation, and the world. If we are to reach our highest state of personal happiness and usefulness, as well as to contribute our greatest possible service to the organizations and people that we lead. We must strive to improve this thing called leadership.
Good leaders do not focus on goals and strategies alone; they also pay attention to relationships. One of the best ways to do this is to create a culture of appreciation, praising, and thanking employees for the job they do and the ideas they contribute to the organization.
Leadership that encourages employee input makes fewer mistakes and has a lower employee turnover. You can foster such a culture by staying open to employee ideas and suggestions. Try speaking last at your next meeting instead of first!
The world is a teacher. We learn by what we see, hear, touch, taste and smell. We think, reflect, reason, compare, judge and thus learn in a twofold way, by the world's actions, and by our own actions. In these two ways we acquire knowledge of the world without, and knowledge also concerning the self, our own capacities and powers.
One of the chief lessons I've learned about the world is that all things therein, are related. Step by step, the knowledge is gathered, that even where to the ordinary observer there seems absolutely nothing in common, more careful examination shows always that relationships exist.
